Better Late Than Never: Dr Maimuna+Dr Irfan's Engagement

Heee.. I know it's very late to post up pics of  my engagement, but oh well, better late than never right? and I know you guys are actually waiting for it.

So, my engagement was almost 5 months ago. 13th April 2013. Had everything planned, although there was so many things happening right before the event.

One, the case where my engagement ring got stolen. Then my then-to-be fiancé's grandmother passed away few days before our engagement.  I thought of postponing our event, but his family said everything was already prepared, so we went on with it.

They gave me his grandmother's ring for our engagement. :'(
It's really sad. His grandmother was so excited to come to Kuantan, but I guess it was her time. Allah knows better.

Not to mentioned, I was SICK! Paediatrics really left me a gift, I was on night shift 2 days before my engagement and I fell sick. I was working with 38.5'C temperature and vomited the whole night. I had to asked my colleague from the other ward for blood taking because I was shivering. My fingers turned blue while I was doing my rounds and had chills. Luckily my MO was cool. I think I overdosed myself on Brufen that night. :p

So anyway, the event started after Maghrib. We also did Doa Selamat right before my event.

Here's some pic of the night.

The pelamin. Done by my mother.

 

The house all prep up

 

Yours truly. The dress bought in Variante Pavillion.

My face looks so "sembab" because I was sick and slept the whole day.

 

"I do"

 

 I'm engaged!

 

 My bestfriends!

 

 With his parents

 

 

My family, the people who made it happen. Without them it wouldn't be a success.

 

The hantaran. Mine was done by my auntie and cousin.

 

 

So there you have it. The people I have to thank most is my mom and my maklang. They're the ones who made the event a success. Also not to forget my cousins. Hopefully those who came had a blast! I know I did.

 

Missing that moment.

 



Stolen ring

My engagement ring was stolen!

bB's house in Muar was broken into.. twice!! Most of his numimastic collection is gone along with my engagement ring..

I'm so sad..... :(
It took us months to find the perfect ring, and we had to wait another month for the ring to be done, because we had to order my finger size, plus the engraving. Now it's gone.

1 more week till my engagement day. I don't know what's bB's plan is. All I know is, I don't think we can get the same ring done again in 1 week time. Sigh.....


What an unfortunate day... :'(((((
I hope someone finds that motherf**ker who stole everything and cut him into pieces!!! I hope he'll get everything that he deserves! What an asshole. GRRRRRRRRRR.......
Can't we live in an honest environment? I'm so depressed...


I hope nothing bad will happen after this.. Please pray my ceremony will go smoothly..

What Makes You Beautiful

Me: b... Awak ok tak dengan warna biru?

bB: Asalkan awak nampak cantik.. Saya tak kisah

Me: MANA BOLEH!!! Kene la dua-dua cantik!

bB: Oh.. ye ke? Tapi saya tak kisah... 

Me: -_____-"


Do I go bold with the colour pastel blue, or should I play safe and go with pastel peach? I know I look good in both colours (okay, perasan jap), but I can't say if he'll look good in blue though... Never seen him wearing pastel blue before...

He just follows with whatever colour I choose. He doesn't even mind whatever colour I choose, as long as I'm happy...

But I can't be making all this decisions by myself! It's our ceremony.. Blue or Peach? Blue or Peach?

So... Peach or Blue? hrrmmm... 

One Big Little Step

Oh! We can't decide on an engagement date!!!

He wants it to be January, but I'll be just starting work in January. He wants it to be done before he goes into Medical Department. Otherwise he said it'll be in 2014. But I think I need time to adapt myself to work and I don't think I can divide my time and energy between working and arranging an engagement ceremony!

I want it to be simple but even if I just invite family and close friends, you must know, my father has 16 siblings (from 4 mothers) and my mother has 9 siblings (from 1 mother). Count all the cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren and that just makes the ceremony far from simple, I think.

And you must know the Malays. You can't invite one person, without inviting the other person. Even if you don't fancy that one aunt. In the end, I'm sure my mother will spread the words around anyway...

Plus, I can't just let my mother do all the preparations! I want to be in it too since it's my ceremony too!

What if I'm still tagging at that time or what if I got Medical or Surgical or Obstetrics Department as my first post?! Wouldn't that be difficult for me too? I mean, he's already adapt to work almost a year now, and I am just starting. I am afraid that stress will get to me, and the ceremony will be a disaster because I easily breakdown if things don't go my way...

Oh, this is so stressful.... and this is just thinking about the date! Not yet the actual planning!
